No. 11 Tennessee at South Carolina: Final Predictions, Matchups and Storylines

No. 11 Tennessee heads to South Carolina for a road matchup, and the Post and Courier has put together its final predictions for the game along with a look at the key matchups and storylines surrounding it.

The preview centers on how the Volunteers and Gamecocks line up against each other and on the storylines that will shape the contest in Columbia. As a ranked Tennessee team playing away from home, the Vols face the usual challenge of handling a hostile road environment while trying to protect that ranking.

For Tennessee, the outcome will matter beyond this one weekend. A road win would reinforce the Vols' standing as the No. 11 team in the country, while South Carolina gets a chance at home to measure itself against a ranked opponent and upset those predictions.
